The awards show is made extra special with a number of first-nominees hoping to take home the statuette in their respective categories. Among them is Nikolaj Coster-Waldau, who is finally getting some acclaim for his stirring portrayal of the conflicted Jaime Lannister on Game of Thrones.

“When they told me I was nominated and the list of incredible actors that are in the same category, what can I say, man?” Martin previously told ET of his fellow nominees up for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie. “I feel like a little kid.”

The Primetime Emmys will be held at the Microsoft Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Monday, Sept. 17. Fans can catch the fun at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
